Sun Hongtao was a student from Shandong Experimental High School. He was admitted in Weihai campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, which was one of the leading universities in China. Sun Hongtao’s enrolment score was lowered by 60 points because of his outstanding skills in paper folding.

Sun explained that his craft is made from a mere square sheet of paper without pasting or clipping. It takes about 20 hours to complete a piece of work from sketching, designing and folding. Paper folding seemed simple, but it was not. The student said that it involved complicated(复杂的) mathematical and special structural principles. Those principles have something common with those of machine design, manufacture and automation. And he has chosen machine design, manufacture and automation as his major.

Although paper folding is complicated and time-consuming, Sun enjoys it. In order to create live-size paper folding, Sun has read much English material on the skill, and improved his knowledge of geometry(几何学) and mathematics greatly.
